The front 1 st inserting/extracting section 480a, the front 2 nd inserting/extracting section 480b, and the front 5 th inserting/extracting section 480e are similar to the body 1 st inserting/extracting section 280a, the body 2 nd inserting/extracting section 280b, and the body 4 th inserting/extracting section 280 d.

The lengths of the front 1 st insertion/removal portion 480a to the front 5 th insertion/removal portion 480e in the circumferential direction are different from each other. Specifically, the front 1 st insertion/extraction section 480a is the longest, the front 5 th insertion/extraction section 480e is the 2 nd longer, the front 2 nd insertion/extraction section 480b is the 3 rd longer, the front 4 th insertion/extraction section 480d is the 4 th longer, and the front 3 rd insertion/extraction section 480c is the shortest.

An angle α 11 formed by a straight line connecting the end of the protrusion 415 and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the protrusion 415 and the optical axis O is about 8 degrees and is between 5 degrees and 10 degrees, an angle β 11 formed by a straight line connecting the end of the protrusion 415 and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the front-side 2-th claw 490b and the optical axis O is about 12 degrees and is between 10 degrees and 14 degrees, and an angle β 12 formed by a straight line connecting the end of the protrusion 415 and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the front-side 3-th claw 490c and the optical axis O is about 30 degrees and is between 28 degrees and 32 degrees.

The total of the angles α 9 to α 13 of all the front claws 490 and the projections and the angles β 9 to β 13 of all the front insertion and extraction parts 480 is 360 degrees.

Fig. 22 is a schematic view of the front mount 410 viewed from the image pickup device side (image side). Fig. 22 is left-right reversed with respect to fig. 9 and 10. The plate spring 413 is provided at a position corresponding to the front claw portion 490 (on the image side of the front claw portion 490). The plate spring 413 is substantially the same as the plate spring 213 provided in the body mount 210, but may be modified as appropriate as long as the corresponding lens 5 can be attached. A portion where the plate spring 413 biases a lens-side claw portion 590 of the counter lens 5, which will be described later, is indicated by a dotted line region. Since the projection 415 does not oppose the lens-side claw portion 510 of the corresponding bayonet 510 described later when the attachment is completed, the plate spring 413 is not disposed on the image side.

(corresponding bayonet 510 of corresponding lens 5)

Fig. 11 and 12 are schematic views of the mount 510 of the counter lens 5 viewed from the image side, the mount 510 is different from the mount 610 of the non-counter lens 6 and the mount 310 of the distance-increasing unit 3 at the point where the notch for passing the projection 415 of the front mount 410 is provided at the time of attachment, and the lens-side reference lines L5 to L8 of fig. 11 are the same as the distance-increasing unit-side reference lines L1 to L4 of the mount 310 of the distance-increasing unit 3.

The mount corresponding to the image side of the lens 5 includes a corresponding mount 510, a lens-side terminal holding unit 520, a reference surface 511, a lock pin sliding surface 509, a screw 513, a cylindrical portion 512, a lock pin receiving unit 514, a lens-side claw unit 590, and a lens-side insertion/removal unit 580. The lens-side terminal holding portion 520, the reference surface 511, the lock pin sliding surface 509, the screw 513, the cylindrical portion 512, and the lock pin receiving portion 514 are substantially equal to the rear-side terminal holding portion 320, the reference surface 311, the lock pin sliding surface 309, the screw 313, the cylindrical portion 312, and the lock pin receiving portion 314 of the rear bayonet 310. The lens-side terminal holding portion 520 has a plurality of lens-side terminals (hereinafter referred to as "lens-side terminal group"). The lens-side terminal group is connected to the lens-side CPU530 and the like.

The mount on the image side of the counter lens 5 includes a lens-side claw portion 590 disposed between the front mount 410 and the front claw portion 490 in the optical axis O direction when the counter lens 5 is attached to the range extender 3. The mount on the image side of the counter lens 5 includes a lens-side insertion/extraction unit 580 through which the corresponding lens-side claw 590 passes when the counter lens 5 is attached to the range extender 3.

The number of the lens-side claw portions 590 and the number of the lens-side insertion and extraction portions 580 are at least 2 or more, respectively, and 5 in the present embodiment. It is preferable that the number of the lens-side claw portions 590 and the number of the lens-side insertion and extraction portions 580 are 4 or more, because sufficient strength can be obtained even if the diameter of the cylindrical portion 312 is increased. In the present embodiment, a lens-side 1 st insertion/removal portion 580a, a lens-side 1 st claw portion 590a, a lens-side 2 nd insertion/removal portion 580b, a lens-side 2 nd claw portion 590b, a lens-side 3 rd insertion/removal portion 580c, a lens-side 3 rd claw portion 590c, a lens-side 4 th insertion/removal portion 580d, a lens-side 4 th claw portion 590d, a lens-side 5 th insertion/removal portion 580e, and a lens-side 5 th claw portion 590e are arranged in this order from the position of the inner periphery of the lock pin receiving portion 514 along the circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion 512.

When the counter lens 5 is attached to the pitch booster 3, the 4 lens-side claw portions 590 other than the lens-side 3 rd claw portion 590c are brought into contact with the respective plate springs 413 of the front mount 410. When the plate spring 413 comes into contact with each of the 4 lens-side claw portions 590, the 4 lens-side claw portions 590 are pressed by the plate spring 413 in a direction away from the front-side claw portion 490. Thus, the 4 lens-side claws 590 are pressed against the front-side notches 410, and the attachment of the distance increaser 3 to the corresponding lens 5 is stabilized.

Specifically, the lens-side 1 st claw 590a has the longest length, the lens-side 5 th claw 590e has the 2 nd longer length, the lens-side 2 nd claw 590b has the 3 rd longer length, the lens-side 4 th claw 590d has the 4 th longer length, and the lens-side 3 rd claw 590c has the shortest length, and the circumferential length of each lens-side claw 590 is preferably such that the circumferential length thereof can receive a biasing force from the plate spring 413 when the corresponding lens 5 is attached to the extender 3, and preferably such that the circumferential length thereof abuts at least 2 of the front claws 490 at an erroneous attachment position described later when the corresponding bayonet 510 is inserted into the front bayonet 410.

An angle α 14 formed by a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side first claw 590a and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side first claw 590a and the optical axis O is about 48 degrees, and is between 46 and 50 degrees.

An angle α 15 formed by a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 2 nd claw 590b and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 2 nd claw 590b and the optical axis O is about 36 degrees and is between 34 and 38 degrees, and the angle α 6 is smaller than the rotation angle.

An angle α 16 formed by a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 3 rd claw 590c and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 3 rd claw 590c and the optical axis O is about 9.5 degrees and is between 7.5 degrees and 11.5 degrees.

An angle α 17 formed by a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 4 th tab 590d and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 4 th tab 590d and the optical axis O is about 29 degrees and is between 27 and 31 degrees.

An angle α 18 formed by a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 5 th claw 590e and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 5 th claw 590e and the optical axis O is about 43 degrees and is between 41 and 45 degrees.

The radial lengths (heights of the claw portions) of the lens-side 1 st claw portion 590a to the lens-side 5 th claw portion 590e are substantially the same. The lengths (thicknesses of the claw portions) of the lens-side 1 st claw portion 590a to the lens-side 5 th claw portion 590e in the optical axis O direction are substantially the same. Since the lens-side 3 rd claw 590c does not receive a biasing force from the plate spring 413 when the attachment is completed, the height and thickness may be made smaller than those of the other lens-side claws as long as the lens-side 3 rd claw is not damaged by erroneous insertion described later.

The lengths in the circumferential direction of the lens-side 1 st insertion/removal portion 580a to the lens-side 5 th insertion/removal portion 580e are different from each other. Specifically, the lens-side 2 nd inserting/extracting portion 580b is the longest, the lens-side 1 st inserting/extracting portion 580a, the lens-side 3 rd inserting/extracting portion 580c, and the lens-side 5 th inserting/extracting portion 580e are substantially equal, and the lens-side 4 th inserting/extracting portion 580d is the shortest. The circumferential length of each lens-side insertion/extraction portion 580 may be changed as long as the front-side claw portion 490 can pass through when the corresponding bayonet 510 is inserted into the front-side bayonet 410.

An angle β 14 formed by a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side first insertion/extraction portion 580a and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side first insertion/extraction portion 580a and the optical axis O is about 45 degrees and is between 47 and 52 degrees.

An angle β 15 between a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side second insertion/extraction portion 580b and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side second insertion/extraction portion 580b and the optical axis O is about 49.5 degrees and is between 48 degrees and 51 degrees.

An angle β 16 formed by a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 3 rd insertion/extraction portion 580c and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 3 rd insertion/extraction portion 580c and the optical axis O is about 44 degrees and is between 42 and 46 degrees.

The angle β 17 formed by the straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 4 th insertion/extraction section 580d and the optical axis O and the straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 4 th insertion/extraction section 580d and the optical axis O is about 10 degrees and is between 8 degrees and 11 degrees, and the angle β 17 may be changed as appropriate as long as the angle 3517 is larger than the angle α 11 of the protrusion 415.

An angle β 18 formed by a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 5 th insertion/extraction section 580e and the optical axis O and a straight line connecting the end of the lens-side 5 th insertion/extraction section 580e and the optical axis O is about 44.5 degrees and is between 42.5 degrees and 46.5 degrees.

The total of the angles α 14 to α 18 of all the lens-side claws 590 and the angles β 14 to β 18 of all the lens-side inserting/extracting sections 580 is 360 degrees.

The lens-side 1 st claw 590a and at least portions of the lens-side 3 rd claw 590c, the lens-side 4 th insertion/extraction portion 580d, and at least portions of the lens-side 4 th claw 590d are arranged so as to sandwich the optical axis O on the line of the lens-side 3 rd straight line L7.

The lens-side 1 st claw 590a is disposed on the upper left of the lens-side terminal holding portion 520, and the lens-side 2 nd insertion/extraction portion 580b is disposed on the upper right of the lens-side terminal holding portion 520, whereby the angle formed by the straight line connecting the end of the lens-side terminal holding portion 520 and the optical axis O and the straight line connecting the other end of the lens-side terminal holding portion 520 and the optical axis O is smaller than the angle formed by combining the angle α 14 of the lens-side 1 st claw 590a and the angle β 15 of the lens-side 2 nd insertion/extraction portion 580 b.

Between the reference surface 511 of the corresponding bayonet 510 and the lens-side 5 th claw portion 590e, a restricting pin (not shown) is disposed in a direction protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 512. The restricting pin is substantially equal to the restricting pin 315 of the rear side bayonet 310 shown in fig. 8.

(non-corresponding bayonet 610 of non-corresponding lens 6)

The bayonet on the image side of the non-corresponding lens 6 is substantially the same as the bayonet on the rear side of the range extender 3, and includes a reference surface, a sliding surface for a lock pin, a screw, a cylindrical portion, an insertion/removal portion, and a claw portion in addition to the non-corresponding bayonet 610. The reference surface, the sliding surface for the lock pin, the screw, the cylindrical portion, the insertion/extraction portion, and the claw portion of the non-corresponding lens 6 are substantially equal to the rear bayonet of the pitch booster 3, and are not shown. The mount on the image side of the non-corresponding lens 6 is substantially the same as the mount on the rear side of the range extender 3, and the method of attaching to and detaching from the camera body 2, and the method of preventing erroneous insertion, which will be described later, are also the same. The non-corresponding bayonet 610 includes a terminal holding portion having substantially the same shape as the rear-side terminal holding portion 320. The terminal holding portion of the non-corresponding bayonet 610 includes a plurality of lens-side terminal groups, and is brought into contact with the body-side terminal group of the body-side bayonet 210 when attached to the camera body 2, and electrically conducted. The lens-side terminal group of the non-corresponding lens 610 is connected to the lens-side CPU 630.

Here, the body-side claw 290, the rear claw 390, the front claw 490, and the lens-side claw 590 are collectively referred to as claws, and the body-side inserting/extracting section 280, the rear inserting/extracting section 380, the front inserting/extracting section 480, and the lens-side inserting/extracting section 580 are collectively referred to as an inserting/extracting section.

(attaching method of distance increasing device 3 to camera body 2)

Next, a method of attaching the extender 3 to the camera body 2 will be described with reference to fig. 13 and 14. Fig. 13 and 14 are views showing the positional relationship between the body-side claw portion 290 of the camera body 2 and the rear-side claw portion 390 of the distance booster 3, so that the abutting state of the claw portions is clear. Fig. 13 and 14 are views of the body mount 210 and the rear mount 310 as viewed from the subject side toward the imaging element 270 side (as viewed in the + Z direction), and the rear mount 310 is reversed from the left to the right in fig. 6 and 7.

To attach the pitch booster 3 to the camera body 2, first, a marker (not shown) attached to the outer peripheral surface of the pitch booster 3 is aligned with a marker (not shown) attached to the outer surface of the camera body 2, the body-side bayonet 210 is opposed to the rear-side bayonet 310, and the rear claw portions 390 are inserted into the body-side insertion and extraction portions 280. That is, as shown in fig. 13, the rear 1 st claw 390a is inserted into the body 1 st insertion/extraction portion 280a, the rear 2 nd claw 390b is inserted into the body 2 nd insertion/extraction portion 280b, the rear 3 rd claw 390c is inserted into the body 3 rd insertion/extraction portion 280c, and the rear 4 th claw 390d is inserted into the body 4 th insertion/extraction portion 280 d. At this time, the body-side 1 st claw 290a is inserted into the rear-side 2 nd insertion/extraction portion 380b, the body-side 2 nd claw 290b is inserted into the rear-side 3 rd insertion/extraction portion 380c, the body-side 3 rd claw 290c is inserted into the rear-side 4 th insertion/extraction portion 380d, and the body-side 4 th claw 290d is inserted into the rear-side 1 st insertion/extraction portion 380 a. The position of the extender 3 with respect to the camera body 2 at this time is referred to as an insertion position.

The distance increaser 3 is rotated in an attaching direction 44 shown in fig. 13 from the above-described insertion position. The attaching direction 44 is a direction along a circumferential direction around the optical axis O in a plane substantially orthogonal to the optical axis O. As the distance increasing device 3 rotates, the body-side 1 st claw 290a and the plate spring 213a enter a space between the rear-side 1 st claw 390a and the reference surface 311.

That is, the rear-side 1 st claw part 390a enters the imaging element 270 side (+ Z side) of the body-side 1 st claw part 290a, and the rear-side 1 st claw part 390a faces the imaging element 270 side (+ Z side) of the plate spring 213a, , and the body-side 1 st claw part 290a and the plate spring 213a enter the space between the rear-side 1 st claw part 390a and the reference surface 311 similarly, the body-side 2 nd claw part 290b and the plate spring 213b enter the space between the rear-side 2 nd claw part 390b and the reference surface 311, the body-side 3 rd claw part 290c and the plate spring 213c enter the space between the rear-side 3 rd claw part 390c and the reference surface 311, and the body-side 4 th claw part 290d and the plate spring 213d enter the space between the rear-side 4 th claw part 390d and the reference surface 311.

Although the range extender 3 is rotated in the attaching direction 44 with respect to the camera body 2, the camera body 2 may be rotated in a direction opposite to the attaching direction 44 with respect to the range extender 3.

Fig. 14 is a view of the extender 3 rotated by the 1 st angle in the attaching direction 44 with respect to the camera body 2 from the insertion position of fig. 13, and shows a state in which the attachment of the extender 3 to the camera body 2 is completed. The position of the distance booster 3 at this time is referred to as an attachment position. The 1 st angle is about 40 degrees in the present embodiment, and is 38.5 to 41.5 degrees.

At the attached position, the lock pin 214 of the camera body 2 is pressed in the-Z direction and enters the lock pin receiving portion 314 of the range extender 3. When the lock pin 214 enters the lock pin receiving portion 314, the rotation required for the detachment of the range extender 3 with respect to the camera body 2 is restricted. That is, when each of the body-side claw 290 and the rear-side claw 390 reaches the attachment position, the relative positions of the body-side bayonet 210 and the rear-side bayonet 310 in the circumferential direction are determined.

Further, the rear claw 390 is pressed toward the imaging element 270 side (+ Z direction) by the plate spring 213, and the reference surface 311 of the rear mount 310 is brought into contact with the reference surface 211 of the body mount 210. The rear mount 310 is in surface contact with the body mount 210, and is biased by the plate spring 213, whereby the distance increasing device 3 and the camera body 2 are firmly attached.

At the attaching position, each of the plurality of rear-side terminals is in contact with and electrically connected to each of the plurality of body-side terminals corresponding to each of the plurality of rear-side terminals.

The state from the state in which each rear claw 390 is inserted into the corresponding body-side insertion and extraction portion 280 at the insertion position in fig. 13 to the state immediately before the attachment position in fig. 14 is referred to as an attached state. Since the lock pin 214 of the camera body 2 is pressed in the-Z direction, the-Z direction end of the lock pin 214 comes into contact with the lock pin sliding surface 309 of the rear mount 310 in the attached state.

As the pitch gear 3 rotates, the end of the lock pin 214 in the-Z direction slides on the lock pin sliding surface 309 of the pitch gear 3. Therefore, the fixing screw for fixing the rear side bayonet 310 is not disposed in the 1 st angle range opposite to the attaching direction 44 from the lock pin receiving portion 314 of the lock pin sliding surface 309. By not disposing the fixing screw in the above-described reverse 1 st angle range, the end portion of the lock pin 214 in the-Z direction does not abut against the fixing screw when sliding on the lock pin sliding surface 309, and therefore, the distance increasing device 3 can be smoothly attached and detached.

(method of detaching distance-increasing device 3 from camera body 2)

When a user presses an unillustrated lock release button of the camera body 2 at the attachment position, the lock pin 214 is retracted from the lock pin receiving portion 314 toward the imaging element 270, whereby the restriction of rotation of the range extender 3 with respect to the camera body 2 is released and the rear mount 310 can be rotated with respect to the body mount 210, and when rotates the range extender 3 with respect to the camera body 2 in a direction opposite to the attachment direction 44 (removal direction) while pressing the unillustrated lock release button , the rear claws 390 move from positions facing the image side surfaces of the body claws 290 to positions of the body insertion and extraction portions 280, and reach insertion positions shown in fig. 13.

(description of the over-rotation state in the attaching direction when attaching the distance-increasing device 3 to the camera body 2)

Next, referring to fig. 15, an over-rotation state in which the extender 3 is rotated in the attachment direction 44 by the 1 st angle or more with respect to the camera body 2 will be described, fig. 15 is a schematic view showing a positional relationship between the 4 th claw 290d on the body side of the camera body 2 and the 4 th claw 390d on the rear side of the extender 3, an upper portion (a) of a one-dot chain line is a view seen from the subject side toward the imaging element 270 side, and a lower portion (b) of the one-dot chain line is a view seen from the side (outer circumferential direction) of the bayonet, when the extender 3 is attached to the camera body 2, the lock pin 214 does not enter the lock pin receiving portion 314 at the attachment position when the user presses the lock release button to rotate the extender 3 in the attachment direction 44, when the extender 3 is rotated from the attachment position to the attachment direction 44 with respect to the camera body 2, the lock pin 214 does not enter the lock pin receiving portion 314, and when the extender 3 is rotated from the attachment position to the attachment position in the attachment direction of the camera body 2, the attachment pin 315 is rotated again to the rear side, and the attachment direction of the extender 3, the attachment end of the extender 2 is prevented from the attachment pin 4 d, and the attachment end of the attachment.

(explanation of the over-rotation state in the detaching direction when detaching the distance-increasing device 3 from the camera body 2)

Next, referring to fig. 16, an over-rotation state in which the distance-increasing unit 3 is rotated in the reverse direction (detaching direction) from the insertion position with respect to the camera body 2 will be described, fig. 16 is a view of the portion of the lens mount mechanism viewed from the side in the over-rotation state in the detaching direction, and the restricting pin 315 is disposed at the rear end portion in the attaching direction 44 of the rear 4 th claw 390d, so that when the user intends to rotate the distance-increasing unit 3 in the reverse direction after inserting the distance-increasing unit 3 into the camera body 2, the restricting pin 315 abuts against the front end in the attaching direction 44 of the body-side 3 rd claw 290c, and the distance-increasing unit 3 is prevented from further rotating in the detaching direction with respect to the camera body 2.

In this way, the restricting pin 315 abuts against the circumferential end of the body-side pawl 290, thereby preventing both over-rotation in the attaching direction 44 and over-rotation in the detaching direction. Since the restricting pin 315 prevents both the over-rotation in the attaching direction 44 and the over-rotation in the detaching direction, it is not necessary to prepare 2 members of the member for preventing the over-rotation in the attaching direction 44 and the member for preventing the over-rotation in the detaching direction.

Further, since the restricting pin 315 is prevented from being rotated excessively by the circumferential end portion of the body-side pawl 290, it is not necessary to separately provide a member that abuts against the restricting pin 315 during the rotation excessively.

(description of the erroneous insertion state of the distance booster 3 into the camera body 2)

Next, a wrong insertion state in which the user attempts to insert the range extender 3 into the camera body 2 at a wrong position because the mark of the range extender 3 is not aligned with the mark of the camera body 2 will be described. Since the rear claw 390 does not pass through the body-side inserting/extracting portion 280 in the erroneously inserted state, the positional relationship on the optical axis O between the rear claw 390 and the body-side claw 290 is different from the positional relationship at the inserted position. Fig. 17 to 20 are schematic diagrams showing the positional relationship between the body-side claw portion 290 of the camera body 2 and the rear-side claw portion 390 of the distance booster 3 so that the abutting state of the claw portions is clear. Fig. 17 to 20 are views of the body mount 210 and the rear mount 310 as viewed from the subject side toward the imaging element 270 side (as viewed in the + Z direction), and the rear mount 310 is reversed from the left to the right in fig. 6 and 7. Fig. 17 shows an example of the erroneous insertion state in which the indicator of the distance increasing device 3 and the indicator of the camera body 2 are shifted by 15 degrees in the detaching direction from the insertion position. Fig. 18 to 20 show a state in which the marker of the range extender 3 and the marker of the camera body 2 are offset from the insertion position by 90 degrees.

Fig. 17 shows a state (1 st erroneous insertion state) shifted by 15 degrees from the insertion position toward the removal direction. As shown in fig. 17 by hatching, the rear claw section 390 abuts against the body-side claw section 290 at the portions indicated by 4 symbols γ 1 to γ 4, and therefore, the rear claw section 390 is not inserted into the body-side inserting/extracting section 280. That is, in the 1 st erroneous insertion state, the rear-side claw portion 390 and the body-side claw portion 290 abut at 4, thereby reliably preventing erroneous insertion.

Fig. 18 is a diagram showing a state in which the logo of the range extender 3 and the logo of the camera body 2 are shifted by substantially 90 degrees in the detaching direction from the insertion position (2 nd erroneous insertion state). Fig. 19 is a view showing a 3 rd erroneous insertion state in which the logo of the range extender 3 and the logo of the camera body 2 are shifted by substantially 180 degrees in the detaching direction from the insertion position. Fig. 20 is a diagram showing a 4 th erroneous insertion state in which the index of the range extender 3 and the index of the camera body 2 are shifted by approximately 270 degrees from the insertion position to the removal direction.

As shown in fig. 18, in the 2 nd erroneous insertion state, a portion denoted by γ 5 of the rear-side 3 rd claw 390c abuts against the body-side 1 st claw 290a and a portion denoted by γ 7 abuts against the body-side 2 nd claw 290b, and the rear-side claw cannot be inserted into the body-side 2 nd insertion/extraction portion 280 b. In the rear-side 1 st claw 390a, a portion denoted by reference numeral γ 6 abuts against the body-side 4 th claw 290d, and cannot be inserted into the body-side 4 th insertion/extraction portion 280 d. In this way, in the 2 nd erroneous insertion state, the rear-side claw portion 390 abuts against the body-side claw portion 290 at position 3, thereby preventing erroneous insertion.

As shown in fig. 19, in the case of the 3 rd erroneous insertion state, the rear-side 4 th claw 390d abuts against the body-side 1 st claw 290a at a portion denoted by a reference numeral γ 8, and cannot be inserted into the body-side 2 nd insertion/extraction portion 280 b. In the rear-side 1 st claw 390a, a portion denoted by reference numeral γ 9 abuts against the body-side 3 rd claw 290c, and cannot be inserted into the body-side 3 rd insertion/extraction portion 280 c. In this way, in the 3 rd erroneous insertion state, the rear-side claw 390 abuts against the body-side claw 290 at position 2, thereby preventing erroneous insertion.

As shown in fig. 20, in the 4 th erroneous insertion state, the rear-side 1 st claw 390a comes into contact with the body-side 1 st claw 290a at a portion denoted by γ 10 and with the body-side 2 nd claw 290b at a portion denoted by γ 11, and cannot be inserted into the body-side 2 nd insertion/removal portion 280 b. In the rear 3 rd claw 390c, a portion denoted by reference numeral γ 12 abuts against the body-side 3 rd claw 290c, and cannot be inserted into the body-side 4 th insertion/extraction portion 280 d. In this way, in the 4 th erroneous insertion state, the rear-side claw 390 abuts against the body-side claw 290 at position 3, thereby preventing erroneous insertion.

As described above, in the erroneous insertion state other than the insertion position, the rear claw portion 390 abuts against the body-side claw portion 290 at least at 2 positions, and thereby the insertion of the rear claw portion 390 into the body-side insertion and extraction portion 280 is prohibited other than the insertion position. Therefore, even if the extender 3 is attached to the camera body 2 at the erroneous insertion position, the claws abut against each other at least 2 positions, thereby reliably preventing the erroneous insertion.

In the 1 st to 4 th erroneous insertion states, 1 of the 2 or more contact portions is located on the upper side of the image pickup device 270, that is, at the erroneous insertion position, of the rear 1 st to 4 th claws 390a to 390d are brought into contact with the end portion on the front end side in the attaching direction 44 of the body-side 1 st claw 290a, and the rear claws 390 other than the rear 2 nd claw 390b are prevented from being inserted into the body-side 2 nd inserting/extracting portion 280b, as described above, the body-side terminal holding portion 220 is arranged on the upper portion of the image pickup device 270 in the opening 212 of the body-side bayonet 210, the upper portion of the body-side terminal holding portion 220 has the body-side 1 st claw 290a, the body-side 1 st claw 290a has the longest length in the circumferential direction among the 4 body-side claws 290, and the upper portion of the body-side terminal holding portion 220 has the body-side 2 nd inserting/extracting portion 280b, and the rear-side 2 nd claw 280b is inclined in the 4 body-side claw 280b, so that the rear-side terminal holding portion 280b is not inclined toward the rear-side 2 nd claw 280c, and the rear-side inserting/c is prevented from being inclined toward the rear-side inserting/c, and the rear-side claw 280b, and thus the rear-side claw 280c is inclined toward the rear-side inserting/c of the rear-side terminal portion of the rear 2 nd claw 280.

In addition, although some of the rear claws 390 abut against the body-side 1 st claw 290a in the erroneous insertion state to prevent the erroneous insertion, the circumferential length of the body-side 1 st claw 290a is longest among the 4 rear claws 390 and the tolerance is highest, so that the possibility of breakage of the body-side 1 st claw 290a at the time of the erroneous insertion can be reduced, in addition, in the 2 nd to 4 th erroneous insertion state, at least of the abutment portions is located at a position opposed to the body-side terminal holding portion 220 across the optical axis O, that is, of the abutment portions are located in the vicinity of the body-side terminal holding portion 220 and above the body-side 2 nd straight line B2 passing through the optical axis O, and further, in the abutment portions are located below the body-side 2 nd straight line B2 passing through the optical axis O, so that although the abutment portions are 2 or 3 at the 2 nd to 4 th erroneous insertion state, the possibility of the erroneous insertion of the second claws 280d of the body-side 2 nd to 4 th erroneous insertion is reduced, and the interval of the second to 4 th erroneous insertion of the body-side claw portion can be ensured even if the body-side 2 nd to 4 th erroneous insertion is not further, the erroneous insertion, and the rear insertion is carried out, and the second to the erroneous insertion is carried out, and the erroneous insertion is carried out to be carried out to the second insertion, and the second, and the erroneous insertion is carried out to the erroneous insertion, and the erroneous insertion is not carried out to the second insertion.

In addition, in the 1 st to 4 th erroneous insertion state, 1 of the 2 or more contact portions is positioned on the outer peripheral side of the rear-side terminal holding portion 320, that is, in the erroneous insertion position, of the 1 st to 4 th claw portions 290a to 290d on the body side are brought into contact with the end portion of the front end side in the attaching direction 44 of the 1 st claw portion 390a on the rear side, and therefore, the other 2 nd to 4 th claw portions 290b to 290d on the body side are prevented from being erroneously inserted into the 2 nd inserting/extracting portion 380b on the rear side, as described above, the upper portion of the rear-side terminal holding portion 320 has the end portion of the front end side in the attaching direction 44 of the 1 st claw portion 390a, and thus, when the rear-side 1 st claw portion 390a passes through the body-side inserting/extracting portions 280b to 280d other than the 1 st inserting/extracting portion on the body side 280a and collides with the rear-side terminal holding portion 320 to cause damage thereto, and, the rear-side 1 st claw portion 390a is prevented from being erroneously inserted into in the erroneous insertion state, but the rear-side claw portions 390a may be damaged in the rear-side claw portion in the circumferential direction, and therefore, the rear-side claw portions 390a may be damaged, and the rear-side pawl portions may be relatively high, and the.

Here, as shown in fig. 13, the rear 2 nd claw part 390b is disposed at the insertion position by the body 2 nd insertion/extraction part 280b, and faces the body 2 nd claw part 290b at the attachment position, and the angle α 6 (fig. 7) of the rear 2 nd claw part 390b is smaller than the angle β 2 (fig. 4) of the body 2 nd insertion/extraction part 280b, the angle β 2 of the body 2 nd insertion/extraction part 280b is smaller than the 1 st angle from the insertion position to the attachment position, and therefore, by making the rear 2 nd claw part 390b smaller than the 1 st angle, it is possible to make the body 2 nd insertion/extraction part 280b smaller and prevent the other rear claw part 390 from passing through in the erroneously inserted state than the rear 2 nd claw part 390b, and particularly, it is possible to prevent the other rear claw part 390a, other than the rear 2 nd claw part 390b, and the other rear side terminal part 390c, other than the rear 2 nd claw part 390c, and the other rear side claw part 390c from passing through the body side terminal part 220 c, and the other rear side terminal part 390c, and the body side terminal part 220 c are disposed so that the body side terminal part 220 c and the body side terminal part 220 c are also can be prevented from passing through the body side insertion/or 4 erroneously inserted/or the body side insertion/extraction part 220.

The angle α 6 of the rear 2 nd claw 390b may be smaller than the angles α 5, α 7, α 8 of the rear 1 st claw 390a, the rear 3 rd claw 390c, and the rear 4 th claw 390d, and the angle β 2 of the body 2 nd inserting/extracting portion 280b may be smaller than the angles α 5, α 7, α 8 of the rear 1 st claw 390a, the rear 3 rd claw 390c, and the rear 4 th claw 390 d.

(attaching method of lens 5-way extender 3, etc.)

Next, a method of attaching the corresponding lens 5 to the range extender 3 will be described with reference to fig. 21 and 22. Fig. 21 and 22 are views showing the positional relationship between the front-side claw portion 490 of the range extender 3 and the lens-side claw portion 590 of the corresponding lens 5, so that the abutting state of the claw portions is clear. Fig. 21 and 22 are views of front mount 410 and corresponding mount 510 as viewed from the imaging device 270 side toward the subject side (as viewed in the-Z direction), and are reversed left and right from fig. 13 and 14.

When the counter lens 5 is attached to the pitch booster 3, first, a mark (not shown) attached to the outer peripheral surface of the counter lens 5 is aligned with a mark (not shown) attached to the outer surface of the pitch booster 3, the front side bayonet 410 is opposed to the counter bayonet 510, and the lens side claw portions 590 are inserted into the front side insertion and extraction portions 480. That is, as shown in fig. 21, the lens-side 1 st claw 590a is inserted into the front-side 1 st insertion/extraction portion 480a, the lens-side 2 nd claw 590b is inserted into the front-side 2 nd insertion/extraction portion 480b, the lens-side 3 rd claw 590c is inserted into the front-side 3 rd insertion/extraction portion 480c, the lens-side 4 th claw 590d is inserted into the front-side 4 th insertion/extraction portion 480d, and the lens-side 5 th claw 590e is inserted into the front-side 5 th insertion/extraction portion 480 e. At this time, the front 1 st claw 490a is inserted into the lens-side 2 nd inserting/extracting portion 580b, the front 2 nd claw 490b is inserted into the lens-side 3 rd inserting/extracting portion 580c, the projection 415 is inserted into the lens-side 4 th inserting/extracting portion 580d, the front 3 rd claw 490c is inserted into the lens-side 5 th inserting/extracting portion 580e, and the front 4 th claw 490d is inserted into the lens-side 1 st inserting/extracting portion 580 a. The position of the corresponding lens 5 relative to the range extender 3 at this time is referred to as an insertion position.

The counter lens 5 is rotated from the above-described insertion position to an attachment direction 44 shown in fig. 21. The attaching direction 44 and the attaching angle (1 st angle) are the same as when the extender 3 is attached to the camera body 2. As the corresponding lens 5 rotates, the front claw portions 490 and the plate springs 413 enter spaces between the lens side claw portions 590 and the reference surface 511. At this time, the lens-side terminal group and the front-side terminal group are sequentially brought into contact and electrically connected.

Fig. 22 is a view in which the counter lens 5 is rotated by the 1 st angle in the attaching direction 44 with respect to the range extender 3 from the insertion position of fig. 21, and shows a state in which the attachment of the counter lens 5 to the range extender 3 is completed. The position corresponding to the lens 5 at this time is referred to as an attached position. In the attachment completed state, the lens side 3 rd claw portion 590c does not oppose the front side 3 rd claw portion 490 c.

At the attached position, the lock pin 414 of the range extender 3 is pressed in the-Z direction and enters the lock pin receiving portion 514 of the corresponding lens 5. When the lock pin 414 enters the lock pin receiver 514, the rotation required for the detachment of the corresponding lens 5 with respect to the range extender 3 is limited. That is, when each front-side claw portion 490 and each lens-side claw portion 590 reach the attachment position, the relative position in the circumferential direction of the front-side bayonet 410 and the corresponding bayonet 510 is determined.

The lens-side claw 590 is pressed toward the image pickup device 270 side (+ Z direction) by the plate spring 413, and the reference surface 511 of the corresponding mount 510 is brought into contact with the reference surface 411 of the front mount 410. The counter mount 510 is in surface contact with the front mount 410 and is urged by the plate spring 413, whereby the counter lens 5 and the pitch booster 3 are firmly attached.

The state from the insertion position of fig. 21 to the attachment position of fig. 22 is referred to as an attached state. When the lock pin 414 of the pitch booster 3 is in the attached state, the end in the-Z direction is in contact with the lock pin sliding surface 509 of the corresponding bayonet 510. As the counter lens 5 rotates, the end of the lock pin 414 in the-Z direction slides on the lock pin sliding surface 509 of the counter lens 5. Therefore, the fixing screw for fixing the corresponding bayonet 510 is not disposed in the 1 st angle range opposite to the attaching direction 44 from the lock pin receiving portion 514 of the lock pin sliding surface 509. By not disposing the fixing screw in the 1 st angle range in the reverse direction, the end portion of the lock pin 414 in the-Z direction does not abut against the fixing screw when sliding on the lock pin sliding surface 509, and therefore, the corresponding lens 5 can be smoothly attached and detached.

(method of detaching the lens 5 from the distance-increasing device 3, etc.)

The method of detaching the lens 5 from the range extender 3 is substantially the same as the method of detaching the range extender 3 from the camera body 2. When a lock release button, not shown, of the pitch booster 3 is pressed, the counter lens 5 is rotated in the removal direction relative to the pitch booster 3 and is rotated relative to the insertion position from the attachment position.

The over-rotation state in the attachment direction when the corresponding lens 5 is attached to the range extender 3 is also substantially the same as the over-rotation state in the attachment method when the range extender 3 is attached to the camera body 2. The restricting pin of the counter lens 5 abuts against the rear end of the front-side 4 th claw portion 490d in the attaching direction 44, and prevents the counter lens 5 from further rotating with respect to the range extender 3.

The over-rotation state in the removal direction when the corresponding lens 5 is removed from the range extender 3 is also substantially the same as the over-rotation state in the removal direction when the range extender 3 is removed from the camera body 2. The restricting pin of the counter lens 5 abuts on the tip end of the front 3 rd claw portion 490c in the attaching direction 44, and prevents the counter lens 5 from rotating further in the detaching direction with respect to the range extender 3.

(corresponding to the description of the erroneous insertion state of the lens 5 into the distance-increasing device 3)

Next, a description will be given of a misinsertion state in which the user attempts to insert the corresponding lens 5 into the range extender 3 at an incorrect position without matching the mark of the corresponding lens 5 with the mark of the range extender 3. In the erroneous insertion state, the lens-side claw 590 does not pass through the front insertion/extraction section 480.

Fig. 23 to 27 are diagrams showing, in broken lines, the contact portions of the front-side claw portion 490 or the projection 415 and the lens-side claw portion 590 in the erroneously inserted state. Fig. 23 is a state (5 th erroneous insertion state) shifted by about 90 degrees from the insertion position of fig. 21 in the direction opposite to the attaching direction 44. Fig. 24 shows a state (6 th erroneous insertion state) shifted by about 10 degrees from the 5 th erroneous insertion state to the reverse direction of the attaching direction 44. Fig. 25 shows a state shifted by about 10 degrees from the 6 th erroneous insertion state to the reverse direction of the attaching direction 44 (7 th erroneous insertion state). Fig. 26 is a state shifted by about 70 degrees from the 7 th erroneous insertion state to the reverse direction of the attaching direction 44 (8 th erroneous insertion state). Fig. 27 shows a state (9 th erroneous insertion state) shifted by about 5 degrees from the 8 th erroneous insertion state to the reverse direction of the attaching direction 44. In the 5 th to 9 th erroneous insertion states, the lens-side claw portion 590 abuts at least 3 places (γ 20, γ 21) of the front-side claw portion 490 or the projection 415, thereby reliably preventing the erroneous insertion. In the erroneous insertion state, the number of contact portions between the lens-side claw 590 and the front-side claw 490 or the projection 415 is larger than the number of contact portions between the rear-side claw 390 and the body-side claw 290 because of the projection 415.

As described above, in the erroneous insertion state, the lens-side claw 590 abuts against the front-side claw 490 at least 3 positions, and the insertion of the lens-side claw 590 into the front insertion/extraction portion 480 is prohibited except for the insertion position. Therefore, even if the corresponding lens 5 is attached to the range extender 3 at the erroneous insertion position, the claw portions abut against each other at least 3 positions, thereby reliably preventing the erroneous insertion.

In the erroneously inserted state, 1 of the contact portions is located on the subject side (-Z direction) and the outer peripheral side with respect to the front-side terminal holding portion 420, that is, at least sides of the end portion on the front end side in the attaching direction 44 of the front-side 1 st claw portion 490a or the end portion on the rear end side in the attaching direction 44 of the front-side 2 nd claw portion 490b are brought into contact with of the lens-side claw portions 590b among the lens-side claw portions 590b, and the front-side terminal holding portion 420 is protected, and in addition, with respect to the front-side 1 st claw portion 490a, although some of the lens-side claw portions 580 other than the lens-side 2 nd claw portion 590b are brought into contact with the end portion in the erroneously inserted state, the circumferential length of the front-side 1 st claw portion 490a is longest and the highest resistance is obtained, and therefore, the possibility of the front-side 1 st claw portion 490a being damaged at the time of erroneously inserted is also reduced.

In the erroneously inserted state, at least of the contact portions are positioned to face the front-side terminal holding portion 420 across the optical axis O, that is, 1 of the contact portions is positioned above the 6 th straight line B6 on the pitch-increasing device side, and 1 of the contact portions is positioned below the 6 th straight line B6 on the pitch-increasing device side passing through the optical axis O. therefore, although the contact portions are positioned at 2 or 3 positions in the 2 nd to 4 th erroneously inserted state, since the contact portions are respectively abutted on the upper and lower sides of the 6 th straight line B6 on the pitch-increasing device side passing through the optical axis O, the possibility of erroneous insertion can be reduced.

In addition, in the erroneous insertion state, the lens-side 1 st claw 590a located on the outer peripheral side of the lens-side terminal holding portion 520 abuts on 1 of the abutting portions, and the front-side claw portions 490 other than the front-side 1 st claw portion 490a are prevented from being inserted and colliding with the lens-side terminal holding portion 520. in addition, although the lens-side 1 st claw 590a abuts on of the front-side claw portions 490 in the erroneous insertion state and the erroneous insertion is prevented, the length of the lens-side 1 st claw 590a in the circumferential direction is longest among the 5 lens-side claw portions 590 and the resistance is relatively high, and therefore, the possibility that the lens-side 1 st claw 590a is broken at the time of the erroneous insertion can be reduced.

Here, as shown in fig. 21, the lens side 2 nd claw 590b is disposed at the insertion position by the front side 2 nd inserting/extracting portion 480b, and faces the front side 2 nd claw 490b at the attachment position, the angle α 15 (fig. 12) of the lens side 2 nd claw 590b is smaller than the angle β 10 (fig. 10) of the front side 2 nd inserting/extracting portion 480b, the angle β 10 of the front side 2 nd inserting/extracting portion 480b is smaller than the 1 st angle from the insertion position to the attachment position, therefore, by making the lens side 2 nd claw 590b smaller than the 1 st angle, the front side 2 nd inserting/extracting portion 480b can be made smaller to prevent the other lens side claw 590 other than the lens side 2 nd claw 590b from passing through in the erroneous insertion state, and particularly, in the erroneous insertion state where the contact portion between the lens side claw 590 and the front side claw 490 becomes 3, the lens side claw 590 other than the lens side 2 nd claw 590b can be prevented from passing through the front side 2 nd inserting/extracting portion 480b, and the other front side terminal 590 can be kept from contacting the front side terminal holding inner diameter of the front side terminal portion 512, and thus preventing the front side terminal from being broken by the other lens side inserting/extracting side claw portion 420.

(method of preventing attachment of non-corresponding lens 6 to distance-increasing device 3)

Next, a method for preventing attachment of the non-corresponding lens 6 to the range extender 3 will be described. The non-corresponding notch 610 has substantially the same shape as the rear-side notch 310, and when the non-corresponding lens 6 is to be inserted into the extender 3 at the insertion position, the projection 415 abuts against the 3 rd lens-side claw of the non-corresponding notch 610 to prevent the insertion.

(attaching method of corresponding lens 5 or non-corresponding lens 6 to camera body 2, etc.)

When the corresponding lens 5 or the non-corresponding lens 6 is attached to the camera body 2, the same operation as when the extender 3 is attached to the camera body 2 is performed. Corresponding bayonet 510 or non-corresponding bayonet 610 is attached to body side bayonet 210. Since the body mount 210 does not have the projection 415, the lens-side 3 rd claw 590c and the lens-side 4 th claw 590d of the corresponding mount 510 can be inserted into the body-side 3 rd inserting/extracting portion 280c of the body mount 210. When the corresponding bayonet 510 is inserted into the body-side bayonet 210, at least 2 positions of γ 20 shown in fig. 23 to 27 abut against the erroneous insertion position, thereby preventing the erroneous insertion.

According to the above-described embodiment, the extender 3, the corresponding lens 5, and the non-corresponding lens 6 can be attached to the camera body 2 in an appropriate manner in a usable state. In particular, when the extender 3, the corresponding lens 5, or the non-corresponding lens 6 has been attached to the camera body 2, the 4 claws 390, 590 are pressed in the + Z direction by the plate springs 213 of the 4 body-side claws 290, respectively. That is, even when the camera system 1 receives an impact, the impact resistance is high because there are 4 projecting portions (the rear-side claw portion 390, the lens-side claw portion 490, and the body-side claw portion 290).

When the extender 3, the corresponding lens 5, and the non-corresponding lens 6 are attached to the camera body 2, communication, power supply, and control can be performed through the respective terminals, and the camera system 1 can be used appropriately.

The 4 projecting portions of the distance-increasing unit 3, the corresponding lens 5, or the non-corresponding lens 6 are arranged on a straight line intersecting the straight line connecting the center of the contact holding unit and the optical axis O at an angle of approximately 45 degrees, and are brought into contact with the 4 plate springs 213 arranged around the optical axis O at an interval of approximately 90 degrees to face the 4 projecting portions of the camera body 2, whereby the impact resistance is high both when the camera system 1 is placed in the landscape position and when it is placed in the portrait position, and particularly, even when of the distance-increasing unit 3, the corresponding lens 5, the non-corresponding lens 6, or the camera body 2 are subjected to an impact in the vertical direction, since 2 projecting portions are arranged on the right side and the left side of the straight line (B1, L1, B5, L5) connecting the center of the contact holding unit and the optical axis O, the impact in the vertical direction can be received by 2 or more projecting portions.

The body-side 2 nd claw 290B and the body-side 4 th claw 290d are disposed on the body-side 3 rd line B3, and the body-side 1 st claw 290a and the body-side 3 rd claw 290c are disposed on the body-side 4 th line B4. here, the angle α 4 of the body-side 4 th claw 290d is the angle 3 rd among the 4 body-side claws 290, the angle α 2 of the body-side 2 nd claw 290B is the angle minimum (4 th) among the 4 body-side claws 290. further, the angle α 1 of the body-side 1 st claw 290a is the angle maximum among the 4 body-side claws 290, and the angle α 3 of the body-side 3 rd claw 290c is the angle 2 nd among the 4 body-side claws.

Thus, when of the distance-increasing device 3, the corresponding lens 5, the non-corresponding lens 6, or the camera body 2 are subjected to an impact in the vertical direction, the force applied to the combination of the upper 2 protruding portions (the body-side 1 st claw 290a and the body-side 2 nd claw 290b) and the force applied to the combination of the lower 2 protruding portions (the body-side 4 th claw 290d and the body-side 3 rd claw 290c) are substantially equal, and even when an impact is applied in the horizontal direction, the force applied to the combination of the left 2 protruding portions (the body-side 3 rd claw 290c and the body-side 2 nd claw 290b) and the force applied to the right 2 protruding portions (the body-side 1 st claw 290a and the body-side 4 th claw 290d) are substantially equal.

The rear 1 st claw 390a and the rear 3 rd claw 390c are arranged on the extender side 3 rd line L3, the rear 2 nd claw 390b and the rear 4 th claw 390d are arranged on the extender side 4 th line L4, the angle α 8 of the rear 4 th claw 390d is the angle 3 rd among the 4 rear claws 390, the angle α 6 of the rear 2 nd claw 390b is the angle minimum (4 th large) among the 4 rear claws 390, the angle α 5 of the rear 1 st claw 390a is the angle 2 nd among the 4 rear claws, and the angle α 7 of the rear 3 rd claw 390c is the angle maximum among the 4 rear claws.

Thus, when of the distance increaser 3, the corresponding lens 5, the non-corresponding lens 6, or the camera body 2 are subjected to an impact in the vertical direction, the forces applied to the combination of the upper 2 protruding portions (the rear 1 st claw 390a and the rear 2 nd claw 390b) and the combination of the lower 2 protruding portions (the rear 4 th claw 390d and the rear 3 rd claw 390c) are substantially equal, and even when an impact is applied in the horizontal direction, the forces applied to the combination of the left 2 protruding portions (the rear 1 st claw 390a and the rear 4 th claw 390d) and the combination of the right 2 protruding portions (the rear 3 rd claw 390c and the rear 2 nd claw 390b) are substantially equal.

In the present embodiment, the angle of the rear-side 3 rd claw 390c is large in the rear-side 1 st claw 390a and the rear-side 3 rd claw 390c disposed on the distance-increasing-device-side 3 rd straight line L3, and the angle of the rear-side 4 th claw 390d is large in the rear-side 2 nd claw 390b and the rear-side 4 th claw 390d disposed on the distance-increasing-device-side 4 th straight line L4. That is, the 2 rear side claw portions 390 opposed to each other across the optical axis O are larger than the 2 rear side claw portions 390 on the lower side than the distance increasing device side 2 nd straight line L2 (horizontal direction). Therefore, in a state where the camera system is placed in the lateral position, 2 rear claws 390 having a larger angle on the lower side than the 2 nd linear line L2 on the pitch increasing device side can receive the impact applied from the lower direction by the pitch increasing device 3 with a wide area. When the distance-increasing unit 3 receives an impact from the downward direction in a state where the camera system 1 is placed in the lateral position, the rear-side claw 390 located below the distance-increasing unit-side 2 nd straight line L2 receives an impact in a direction (the (-Z direction) approaching the body-side claw 290. Here, the plate spring 213 presses the rear side claw portion 390 in a direction (+ Z direction) away from the body side claw portion 290. Therefore, even if the distance-increasing unit 3 receives an impact from the downward direction in a state where the camera system 1 is placed in the lateral position, the rear-side claw 390 located below the distance-increasing unit-side 2 nd straight line L2 can absorb the impact with a wide area by the biasing force of the plate springs 213 of the body-side claw 290 facing each other, and therefore, the impact resistance is high.

The body-side terminal holding portion 220 is disposed above the image pickup element 270 in a state where the corresponding lens 5 and the like are attached to the camera body 2. In the state where the camera system 1 is placed in the lateral position, the solar light incident on the counter lens 5 or the like is incident on the lower side of the exit side of the counter lens 5 or the like, and therefore, a ghost is easily generated on the lower side of the image pickup device 270, but in the present embodiment, the body-side terminal holding portion 220 is disposed on the upper side of the image pickup device 270 instead of the lower side, and therefore, a ghost can be suppressed.

The 4 plate springs 213 are arranged at substantially 90-degree intervals around the optical axis O. Thereby, at least 2 plate springs 213 of the 4 plate springs 213 sandwiching the optical axis O are in contact with 2 protruding portions, and the 2 protruding portions are pressed in the + Z direction. In the present embodiment, the distance increaser 3, the corresponding lens 5, or the non-corresponding lens 6 is provided with at least 4 protruding portions, but even when 1 of the 4 protruding portions is broken, since at least 2 protruding portions are arranged at positions facing each other across the optical axis O, the 2 plate springs 213 arranged at positions facing each other across the optical axis O are pressed. Therefore, it is possible to provide: even if the projection is damaged, the extender 3, the corresponding lens 5, or the non-corresponding lens 6 can be attached to the camera system 1 of the camera body 2 in a usable state.

Further, since the plate spring 213 is on the straight line B10 (fig. 5), the lens-side terminal near the straight line B10 can be strongly pressed against the body-side terminal.

The screws 313 and 513 are arranged on the outer periphery of the rear end side in the attaching direction 44 of the claw portions, and at least portions of the screws 313 and 513 are arranged on the outer periphery of the claw portions, in this embodiment, even if external force is received at the time of attaching, external force can be received by 4 claw portions, and in addition, since at least portions of the screws 313 and 513 are arranged on the outer periphery side of the claw portions, when external force is transmitted between the rear side bayonet 310 and the corresponding bayonet 510 and the fixing member 5101 in the corresponding lens 5, the external force is prevented from concentrating on a specific portion through 4 claw portions and 4 screws 313 and 513, and therefore, since concentration of external force can be prevented, the fixing members 3101 and 5101 and the rear side bayonet 310 and the corresponding bayonet 510 can be firmly fixed, and, assuming that the inner diameters of the rear side bayonet 310 and the corresponding bayonet 510 are increased, the diameters of the reference surfaces 311 and 511 and the protrusion amounts of the claw portions need to be increased in proportion, but according to this embodiment, the external force can be received by 4 claw portions and 4 claws 313 and 513, and therefore, the diameters of the reference surfaces of the rear side bayonet 310 and the corresponding bayonet 510 need not be increased in proportion to the camera body, and the camera body can be prevented from being increased.

Further, with respect to the claw portions that face each other at the time of attachment, the circumferential length does not need to be made uniform, and the circumferential length of the rear-side claw portion 390 or the lens-side claw portion 590 other than the lens-side 3 rd claw portion 590c may be changed within a range that the plate spring 213 can press it.

Further, the length in the circumferential direction of the claw portion and the corresponding insertion/extraction portion does not need to be made substantially , and the length in the circumferential direction of the inserted claw portion may be equal to or less than the length in the circumferential direction of the insertion/extraction portion.

The circumferential length of the rear-side 1 st claw 390a may be changed in a range of the corresponding body-side 1 st inserting/extracting portion 280a during insertion. The same applies to the rear 2 nd claw 390b, the rear 3 rd claw 390c and the rear 4 th claw 390 d.

Further, the thickness of the cylindrical portion 312 in the radial direction may be changed as appropriate, and at least portions may be protruded radially inward from the cylindrical portion 312 in the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the distance increasing device 3 is described as an example of the intermediate fitting, but the intermediate fitting may be an adapter, a telephoto ring, or the like.
